Your break room,
reinvented.
A curated micro-market built into your Louisville-area office. Smart vending machines, open-shelf snacks, tap-to-pay checkout. We design it, install it, stock it, and service it.
More than vending. Less than a cafeteria.
A pantry program sits in the sweet spot: real variety, real brands, no staffing, no cafeteria buildout.
Curated selection.
Snacks, drinks, fresh options, healthier picks. Built around your team's preferences, not a national planogram.
No staffing required.
Tap-to-pay checkout on every cooler. Open-shelf items priced and tagged. Your people serve themselves; we keep it stocked.
Designed for your space.
We build the pantry to fit the room you have — a dedicated wall, a converted closet, a full break room refresh. Your call.

Four steps, start to stocked.
Three models. Pick the fit.
Pantries are flexible. Most clients choose one of three commercial models.
Your team pays for what they take.
We install at no cost. Employees tap to pay at coolers and shelves. Loudega earns on product sales.
Company covers part of every purchase.
You set a per-item or per-transaction subsidy (e.g., $1 off every drink, 50% off snacks). Employees pay the rest.
The company picks up the tab.
Loudega bills you monthly for everything consumed. Employees grab what they want, no payment required.
Most clients start with self-pay or subsidized and evolve over time. We help you model the economics before you decide.
Is a pantry right for your space?
Pantries work best when you have the people and the space for a real market experience.
- 75–300+ people on-site regularly
- A dedicated room, alcove, or break room (8+ linear feet of wall)
- A culture that values amenities and employee experience
- Traffic across multiple shifts or hours
- Fewer than 75 people on-site
- Space for only a single unit
- Not ready for a multi-piece installation
Questions, answered.
How long does installation take?
Most installs run 1–2 weeks from signed contract to live pantry. The consult and proposal typically add a week on the front. We coordinate delivery, electrical, and any minor build-out around your team's schedule.
What if our team doesn't like the assortment?
We run quarterly assortment reviews driven by what's actually selling, plus a more flexible rotation between reviews. If something flops, it's out next restock. Your office manager can flag preferences any time.
Can we change pricing models later?
Yes. Most clients start self-pay or subsidized and evolve. Switching models is a configuration change on our end — no equipment swap, no new contract. Usually live within 48 hours of your request.
What if equipment breaks?
Every cooler is monitored remotely; we usually know before you do. A technician is dispatched same-day in most cases, with full warranty coverage on all equipment for the duration of the contract.
Do you handle the payment processing?
Yes — Loudega is the merchant of record. All transactions are processed through our system. You don't see customer card data, you don't manage receipts, you don't handle refunds. We do.
Is there a contract? What's the term?
A 24-month standard term with a 90-day exit clause. No setup fees, no early-termination penalties beyond unrecouped equipment costs. We earn the relationship monthly.
What happens to inventory we don't sell?
We carry it. Loudega owns the inventory in self-pay and subsidized models, so unsold product is our problem — not yours. We rotate slow items out as part of the regular restock cycle.
Can the pantry be branded with our logo?
Yes. Signage, cooler wraps, and the kiosk can all carry your branding. We handle design and production as part of the install — most clients co-brand with our service marks.
